A member asked:
2 yo may or may not have eaten a tiny piece of old gum from under a table- will he be ok? should i call doctor? can he catch something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. No. No.: Toddlers eat all sorts of things. A little piece of old gum is no problem... it's just one of the risks of growing up. There's no such thing as a risk-free childhood. Just keep a closer eye on him from now on.
